Geocache Description:

Welcome Spring with other geocachers and a picnic basket on an overlook in Sterling Forest.


Location is up to three miles away from the parking and trails that may not have been used since October!

Gather at the above coordinates from noon until 1PM.


With Spring arriving , there is now no snow on the trails so please post from where you will be hiking in (and the start time) so others can join up. Successful completion of previous equinox hikes is not a requirement.


Parking coordinates will be posted for those who want to make the journey to the coordinates with company.

The individual that comes in the best "Spring Theme clothes" wins a hiking book. All registered attendees will receive a collectible Equinox button.

NNJC is about promoting a quality caching experience.

It is probably more difficult for humans than dogs but there is one place where you may need to "rock scramble" if you come from the visitor center. If you come from 17A (the north) the trail is much more moderate. In other words you do not have to go to the Fire Tower where the rock scrambles are. Please do your homework if you have doubts.

This is my traditional Spring Equinox hike so know what you are getting into please.
